It isn’t uncommon for long-running series to find ways for more recent entries to connect back to early titles, and Assassin’s Creed Codename Jade does just that with a small detail that ties the new game’s protagonist back to Assassin’s Creed 2. Ezio Auditore‘s exploits are among the most famous in the franchise’s entire history, whether it involves uncovering the secrets of Altair or upending the Templar’s control of the Papacy. While it is unknown what Xia’s own journey could entail across Ancient China, it appears one of their mentors is so influential the order commemorates them in the halls of Villa Auditore.
